Standing Hampton is the sixth studio album by American rock vocalist Sammy Hagar, released on January 6, 1982,[2] by Geffen.

The British version of the album was released with a bonus interview 45 rpm called Conversations with Sammy Hagar (Geffen XPS 133).

reviewer Dante Bonutto praised the album opener "There's Only One Way to Rock" (in British editions it was a first track) and complained that the rest of the songs on the album could not match its energy and originality.

[7] This led to the cover art that shows a gentleman greeting a woman in various states of undress.

The liner notes on the inner sleeve state that the cover graphics were inspired by the work of Surrealist painter Paul Delvaux.
